Amazon Essentials Diamond 3 Stone (1/4 cttw)18″ Pendant Necklace (previously Amazon Collection)

Wife loves it! Great necklace!

Bought this for my grand daughters high school graduation. Was sceptical, but ordered it anyway. Was so glad I did. It is just beautiful! It sparkles and look so expensive. In fact, due to covid and my grand daughters graduation be scheduled at the last minute, I actually bought another necklace from a big name jewelry store, just to be sure I had a gift for her. I let her choose between the two and she picked this one! It was actually much prettier than the one from the big name jewelry store. I returned the other one. She loves this necklace and even told me that she would wear it on her wedding day! I guess grandma did good!

She texts me a photo of Bandai Tamashii Nations Figuarts Zero Roronoa Zoro Battle Version Rengoku Onigiri Action Figure on February 13th at 9pm with the caption reading, “Happy Valentine’s Day”. Panic sets in… confusion… I don’t understand. I thought we weren’t exchanging Valentine’s Day gifts… yet what is this picture she has sent me with this caption that contains those dreaded words, “Happy Valentine’s Day”? I should have known that she would still get me something… why hadn’t I known?!?

My heart begins to physically hurt because she knows me so damn well as to choose Zoro, although I would have felt equally horrible had it been Franky. It begins to sink in that I am a horrible person… so in a futile attempt to make myself feel less horrible I text her back, hoping beyond hope that I get the answer I’m looking for, “That’s for me?” I ask… “Yes!” she replies… Disaster! My last hope that perhaps she had bought that for another random person she knows who loves One Piece and just texted me by mistake flies out the door along with my breath.

I can’t breath, I’m hyperventilating thinking of how expensive running down to the mall to buy a last minute gift is going to be until… “But it won’t be here for a few weeks” she texts… What’s this?? Redemption?? Could this be true? Could I have just been given a chance to mitigate my horribleness? Yes! Karma is on my side this time! Quickly I bring up Amazon and search for necklaces because she had mentioned once before that she would like something that she could wear to tell people that it was from me and that is when I see it… the Diamond Heart Pendant Necklace… it’s simple, yet elegant… just like her and I know it is perfect!

But what is this? The item is temporarily out of stock?? Ohhhh the humanity! I begin to feel redemption slipping from my grasp as I quickly look at all the other overly “blingy” heart pendants, none of which could have equaled the perfection of this item… But wait! Her text! “… a few weeks” she had said. Perfect! I bring the item back up, throw it in my basket and check out! I’m then able to immediately text her back (without lying), “I got you something too, but it’s also going to be late.” Slowly the seconds tick by until I receive her reply, “Ooooohhhhh what is it???”

GLORIOUS REDEMPTION IS MINE! “Something you can wear and people will know is from me” I reply. 4 days later it arrives on my doorstep, I bring it to work to give to her, but first I give her a googly eye ring as a joke since hey… I’m 30 years old and like cartoons… so everybody would know that that’s my sense of humor if she wore it! She laughs at it but when she opens the box that I hand her 10 seconds after the ring her eyes nearly pop out of her head in surprise! She literally loves this necklace so much that she wears it everyday! Next time I will make sure to have something ordered in advance for the next Valentine’s Day that we’re not exchanging gifts!

I wasn’t really impressed after getting this necklace for my girlfriend. Although for what I paid I shouldn’t complain. My main concern was is it “REAL” so I took it and the earrings I bought her to a jeweler to have them looked at. The Jeweler was really nice and said “don’t tell me what you think they are, I will just tell you what they are”. Under a microscope she verified that it was Sterling Silver and the stones where DIAMONDS.

Although she said they were very included (pitted to my best knowledge) and the color wasn’t ideal. Also the settings were pretty bad. I then got a nice lesson on diamond quality and clarity grades which are actually called out in the item’s description. So as far as the authenticity goes I received exactly what I ordered and until I start making 6 figures a year this is the best my girlfriend will see until maybe a wedding ring.

My real advice is to look at the clarity grade, which is actually the least important when it comes to diamond cost but has the biggest effect on what the diamond actually looks like. These diamonds are “I3” which is the lowest clarity grade so they won’t look that great and may make you doubt their authenticity, Overall you get what you pay for and if this is in your price range then go for it, as long as you can say they are real diamonds most women will be happy.

Great gift idea.
